As Jewelry Television's buying team continually travels the globe in search of the most exotic gems, we discovered a garnet variety unlike any other a few years ago. Called Imperial Hessonite(R) due to its intriguing and regal natural coloring, this gem is mined on the island nation of Sri Lanka, nicknamed "Gem Island" because of its extensive mineral wealth. Mined in a small rural area, Imperial Hessonite(R) production is extremely limited, yielding only a couple of kilograms of rough material every few months. And of that small amount, only 3 to 5% is deemed worthy of carrying the Imperial Hessonite(R)name. Our exclusive supplier of these gems purchases directly from the mine to ensure JTV customers have the opportunity to own this magnificent gem. Hessonite has long been called the "cinnamon stone" and we invite you to discover this spicy gem today!
